Been hunting them for over forty-five years, and I still like my heavy loads. I had rather overkill than have one run off. For me in a 12 gauge, it is going to be 1300 fps with an ounce and quarter if I use this gun.

Not every shot is perfectly placed right on their heads. Heck, I've shot and seen them run off and then when I recreated what I did, I forgot to aim!

My question was about the barrels though, not what load will kill a turkey. I can kill him with a stick if he is close enough.

WHAT THE HECK DOES 3 AND A QUARTER TONS FROM A BRITISH PROOF HOUSE REALLY MEAN?

Should I baby it with low pressure loads, or should it handle straight out of the box Remington Express high brass 1.25 ounce 1300 fps shells?
